To study the therapeutic mechanism of resolving blood stasis and regulating tendons acupuncture combined with Zhuyu Zhitong Decoction(逐瘀止痛汤)in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
Eighty-six patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation were selected and divided into two groups according to random number table. Forty-three cases in the reference group were treated with resolving blood stasis and regulating tendons acupuncture,and the other forty three cases in the study group were treated with resolving blood stasis and regulating tendons acupuncture and Zhuyu Zhitong Decoction. The clinical efficacy,TCM syndrome scores,inflammatory factor levels and lumbar function of the two groups were observed and compared.
The total effective rate of the study group was 95.35%,higher than that(74.42%)of the control group. The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment,the lumbar function in the study group was higher than that in the reference group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment,the levels of interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-17(IL-17)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the study group were lower than those in the reference group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment,compared with those of the reference group,VAS score and muscle strength were higher and ODIscore was lower in the study group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment,compared with those of the reference group,the pelvic lateral inclination,pelvic tilt angle and sagittal plane flat axis of the study group were smaller,and the lumbar lordosis angle was larger. The differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).
The patients with lumbar disc herniation were treated by resolving blood stasis and regulating tendons acupuncture and Zhuyu Zhitong Decoction,which can effectively improve the function of the lumbar spine,reduce the inflammatory response of the body and promote the recovery of the patients,and have high clinical application value.
